Long gone is the bulky paper map. After all, do you know anyone who mastered the art of map folding? Fortunately, Google Maps has made it seamless to find local businesses, get directions and navigate our world faster and easier than ever before. Rich in functionality, Google Maps makes travelling around town a breeze!
Check out a few features you probably didn’t even realize you had:
See local Covid 19 Updates
Look for the alert on your Google Maps home screen. You will find relevant Covid-19 updates based on your current map view.
Plot Multiple Locations
Simply select your starting point, and add multiple stops. You can drag and drop stops within your itinerary to select a preferred route.
Single Click direction finding

Find Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Search EV charging or EV charging station in Google Maps to find the nearest location to plug in.
Take a Stroll
Click on the “little man” affectionately known as “Peg Man” in the bottom right-hand corner of your map and drop him anywhere on your map. Voila, you are now in Street View.
